Advanced Grip Control
Special patented traction control system which
improves traction on snow, mud and sand.
This system, the operation of which has been
optimised for each situation, allows you to
manoeuvre in most conditions of poor grip
(encountered during touring use).
Associated with all-season M+S (Mud and
Snow) tyres, this system offers a compromise
between safety, adhesion and traction.
The accelerator pedal should be pressed
sufficiently to allow the system to use the power
of the engine. Operation at high engine speeds
is completely normal.
A five-position selector knob allows you to
choose the setting best suited to the driving
conditions encountered.
An indicator lamp associated with each mode
comes on, accompanied by the display of
a
message to confirm your choice.
Operating modes
Standard (ESC)
This mode is calibrated for a low
l evel of wheel spin, based on the
different levels of grip normally
encountered on the road.
Every time the ignition is switched off, the
system automatically resets to this mode.
Snow
This mode adapts its strategy to
the conditions of grip encountered
for each of the two front wheels on
moving off.
(mode active up to 50
mph
(80
km/h))
All terrain (mud, damp grass,
etc.)
This mode, when moving off,
allows considerable spin on
the wheel with the least grip to
optimise clearing of the mud
and to regain grip. At the same
time, the wheel with the most
grip is controlled in such a
way
as to transmit as much torque as
possible.
When moving, the system optimises wheel spin
to respond to the driver's requirements as fully
as possible.
(mode active up to 31
mph (50 km/h))
Sand
This mode allows little spin on the two driving
wheels at the same time to allow the vehicle to
move for ward and limit the risks of getting stuck
in the sand.
(mode active up to 75 mph (120 km/h))
Do not use the other modes on sand as
the vehicle may become stuck. F
P
lace the knob in this position.

SPORT
On a descending slope, with the vehicle
s tationary and reverse gear engaged, the
vehicle is held for a
shor t time when you
release the brake pedal.
Malfunction
Dynamic pack
This pack influences:
- t he acoustic ambience of the engine,
-
t
he level of power assistance for the
steering,
-
acceleration.
-
h
andling gear transitions with the automatic
gearbox,
-
t
he display on the instrument panel of
information about the dynamic parameters
of the vehicle ("PERSONAL" mode).
Activation/Deactivation
F Press this button; the orange indicator lamp in the button
comes on to confirm activation
of the function.
The Dynamic pack is also managed
by the i-Cockpit Amplify function.For more information on the i-Cockpit Amplify
function, refer to the corresponding section.
If the orange indicator lamp flashes,
activation is not available (e.g. if Park
Assist is selected).
If the indicator lamp continues flashing for
a long time, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or
a
qualified workshop.
Displays
To show this information on the instrument
panel, select the "PERSONAL" mode and then
the type of information required.
This telemetry information (power
output, turbocharger pressure, torque,
longitudinal and lateral acceleration, etc.)
is given as a
guide only.
Operation
On an ascending slope, with the vehicle
stationar y, the vehicle is held for a shor t
time when you release the brake pedal:
-
i
f you are in first gear or in neutral with
a
manual gearbox,
-
p
rovided you are in mode D or M with an
automatic gearbox. If a
fault in the system occurs, these warning
lamps come on. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop to have the system
checked.
Gear shift indicator
(Depending on engine.)
System which reduces fuel consumption by
recommending the most appropriate gear.
